Duane on the Watchtower

This is my friend Duane on the trail that goes to the Watchtower from the Wolverton Trailhead. It was a cold afternoon in late September 2004 and snow began falling not too long after this pic was taken. Sequoia National Park, CA

"I am in love with this world. I have nestled lovingly in it. I have climbed its mountains, roamed its forests, sailed its waters, crossed its deserts, felt the sting of its frosts, the oppression of its heats, the drench of its rains, the fury of its winds, and always have beauty and joy waited upon my goings and comings."
--John Burroughs
